I notice you removed the map [Israel After 1949 Armistice Agreements] saying it was inaccurate. What is inaccurate about it? -Lciaccio (talk) 23:15, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lciaccio,
  • the size and shape of all demilitarised zones as well as the borders of Gaza and West Bank are wrong. This was certainly made by hand with paint without checking anything. Pluto2012 (talk) 15:45, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Benny Morris Before the Kidnappings, There Was a Massacre. How the national trauma of Kfar Etzion helped bring Israeli Yeshiva boys to the West Bank Tablet magazine June 25, 2014 It's interesting that he only mentions Deir Yassin (and dozens of women and children, not the overall figure) to explain a reported shout at the Kfar Etzion massacre, and then philosophises as to why the Dawayima massacre occurred:-

In the Middle East, as perhaps elsewhere, massacres tend to breed counter-massacres; revenge is a basic value and fact of life. On Oct. 29, 1948, IDF troops of the 8th Brigade, 89th Battalion, conquered the Arab village of Dawayima

I ask myself, why did that not preface his introduction to the Kfar Etzion massacre (Deir Yassin bred it as a counter-massacre) but employs it to 'explain' why Jews murdered the inhabitants of Dawayima. It's is little things like this that tell me how to 'read' the depths behind Morris's otherwise commendably erudite histories. Best Nishidani (talk) 21:06, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nish,
Thank you for the link.
I don't think that Morris wants to "employ() [Kfar Etzion massacre] to 'explain' why Jews murdered the inhabitantsof Dawayima". The topic of his article is the events of '48 in the area of Kfar Etzion (and Hebron). I rather think that he wans to illustrate the "spiral of violence" mechanism. Others could even have claimed he wanted to minimize Kfar Etzion massacre in reporting a massacre of Arabs that preceeded it and another one that followed the Kfar Etzion one.
I think that Morris sometimes lack humanity in his reports and victims and massacres are just facts as others in his work.

Thanks. I was showing more how a reader like myself takes his organization of material and priorities than proving anything about BM. It was used as background for the 2014 kidnapping of Israeli teens, which however because of the poverty of reactions to the Beitunia killings in May can't be contextualized. Deit Yassin-Kfar Etzion/Beitunia-2014 kidnapping. (Causes are never excuses, for anyside, of course. But grasping them with a cold eye attuned to the logic of events certainly is more illuminating than selective focus on one event to the detriment of the structure of events. In any case, I think this is certainly RS for the Kfar Etzion massacre, and will be a test for maintaining neutrality in reportage, since BM here certainly is far more dismissive of the other side's various POVs than he was, from memory, in his book accounts. But we can't be intimidtaed by that. RS are RS, whatever one's personal beliefs may be. Cheers friend.Nishidani (talk) 16:12, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your advice on response to talk:Antisemitism

[edit]

Hi Pluto2012,

What are your thoughts about raising the behaviour of VQuakr and Fleenier at talk:Antisemitism.

There's also User_talk:VQuakr#Category:Prejudice_and_discrimination_navigation which includes "This is a relevant question - is English your first language?"

Also: User_talk:Gregkaye#Your_level_of_involvement_at_Talk:Antisemitism giving private requests that I cut back contributions to the discussion.

any thoughts?

Gregkaye (talk) 21:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
I don't think much about this... I am not even sure to understand what is the issue... I suggest you just "ignore" what I would call "attempt of intimidiation" or "uncivility" (but without investing time to investigate) and I think you should go on commenting the way you like this discussion.
On the other, if I would close this discussion, my conclusion would be "no consensus" ; so I don't think either it's worth investing much time in it.
Pluto2012 (talk) 10:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

inquiry

[edit]

Cher ami I wonder if you could be so kind as to consult your copy of Morris, 1948: A History of the First Arab–Israeli War, p. 13 and if possible transcribe for me the context on 'After Saturday Sunday,' regarding it as 'popular during the revolt'. I don't think it has a footnote, but if it has I'd appreciate a note on that as well. I hope things are going well with you. Best regards Nishidani (talk) 16:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the whole paragraph, pp. 12-13:
A major fault line ran between the Muslim majority and the generally more prosperous, better-educated Christians, who were concentrated in the large towns. The British authorities favored the Christians with contracts, permits, and jobs, further alienating the majority. Through the Mandate, and especially in such crisis periods as the Arab Revolt of 1936–1939 and 1947–1948, Muslims suspected Christians of collaborating with the “enemy” and secretly hoping for continued (Christian) British rule or even Zionist victory. These suspicions were expressed in slogans, popular during the revolt, such as “After Saturday, Sunday”—that is, that the Muslims would take care of the Christians after they had “sorted out” the Jews. This probably further alienated the Christians from Muslim political aspirations, though many, to be sure, kept up nationalist appearances. “The Christians [of Jaffa] had participated in the 1936–1937 disturbances under duress and out of fear of the Muslims. The Christians’ hearts now and generally are not with the rioting,” reported the Haganah Intelligence Service (HIS).17
A Haganah list from the mid-1940s of Arabs with a “tendency to cooperation with the Jews” included “many . . . Christians” but few Muslims.18
Ref.17: Talmi, “The Christians in Jaffa,” 2 May 1947, HA 105/193 bet.
Ref.18: Unsigned, “Arabs with a Tendency to Cooperation with the Jews,” undated, HA 105/54, where HA is Haganah Archive. In short: the only sources that Morris cites for this section, is the Haganah Archive. Hope this helps, Huldra (talk) 20:34, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, sweetie. I can hit the fartsack without the nagging nightmare of being 'stumped' for want of an answer, thanks to you. G'nite.Nishidani (talk) 20:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Huldra and Nishidani,
Even more widely, this "After Saterday, Sunday" is one of the arguments used by Benny Morris to argue that the 1948 war (and globally the I-P conflict) was not a nationalist conflict but was part of a "clash between civilisations". Indeed, in a nationalist conflict, the Palestinian Arabs would not have threatened other Arabs sharing the same nationality but not the same religion. In his approach, Christians and Jews were seen as representatives of the Western civilisation.
Useless to say that his thesis is not followed by his pairs. A reference article against this thesis is Yoav Gelber's review of Morris book: The Jihad that wasn't.
Pluto2012 (talk) 05:47, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not very familiar with this story, but it seems like Gelber should be used in the After Saturday Comes Sunday-article, then? Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may have noticed in the discussions that D0kkaebi is one of the leaders of Asselineau's UPR, as anyone can easily check, googling "UPR Lawren00" (Lawren00 is D0kkaebi's former identity here); hence some "reluctance" to amend the article, as always when WP:AUTO and WP:CoI have been violated. --Azurfrog (talk) 19:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uri Milstein

[edit]
 THANK YOU FOR YOUR CRITICISM, AS FOR THE POINTS YOU RAISE ;

While studying Israeli wars, I came across Milsteins books. I saw that the man has a lot to say, AND, did/does his homework. His books are hard to find, though I see on Amazon that they go used for 2-3 times their original retail price. Clearly, there is some interest in him, so when I first started using WIKIPEDIA I looked up his page to see what was available on him. There was basically nothing, a little of this and a little of that, some of it having preciously little to do with him (such as his calling Yigal Amir a good student). Personally, I think many things he says are ridiculous, but that should`nt prevent those interested in accessing information about someone, especially someone who despite my opinion of some of his, is admittedly much smarter then me and practically everyone else I`ve ever come across. My first reaction was, admittedly, hasty and stupid. Immediately I began editing his page. But his total of printed book pages may total up to 5-6000, and although the book on,say,the YOM KIPPUR WAR is not essential to an elementary understanding of him per se, still severalbooks [notably THE RABIN FILE, ON THIS WE DREAMED and THE SECURITY PRINCIPLE] ARE essential, and I did not at the time have a firm grasp in them. Thus much of my edits were the more shocking things I well remembered, which do not much help the uninitiated in getting to know about him. I have since realized my mistake, and have taken the responsibility to enable anyone interested in him to get ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION ON HIM, and am currently working on this by studying his books. I am also working on the present references, though its slow going because, for instance, he sticks autobiographical information in THE RABIN FILE, which makes it quite difficult to find, but I`m getting there. As for his own lack of reliability, what shall I write when, as is usually the case, there`s no other source? How about quoting him directly on it?

More about Uri Milstein

[edit]

Hi Pluto; I would like your opinion again please on my editing. Mainly I would like you to explain what you said last time that sometimes it may be asked for a direct quote, when is that sometimes? Also, as I was largely quoting only Milstein, you said it seemed a violation of impartiality. I have done significant homework, and discovered that what Milstein says is true-his books are ignored and most have no reviews to speak of, so I want to know; should it be kept as is, or would it be better to write relevant facts about the things he writes about, and thus allowing the reader to attain a more balanced view? I particularly have in mind that Milsteins practically only source for Rabin`s fleeing the battlefield is his subordinate-Yosef Tabenkin, on whom Mistein said that he had an agenda against Rabin`s being commander, and was besides-according to Milstein-a thoroughly vile creature, and should not be considered a valid source on so sensitive a matter.

Ménargues

[edit]

I've looked and relooked at this. It seems clear to me (WP:OR) that Ménargues has no smoking pistol evidence but is just making an inference between Benny Haim's dogtags found inside the camp, and Sayeret Maktal. That is something that an archival historian could disprove. Just dig up the records showing what unit Haim belonged to. The Kahan Commission dismissed it (though their story of how the tags got there is not convincing either). One thing however in the Kahan Report esp. made me curious. They write that before the Phalangists were ushered into the camp, the leader was given a briefing 'Brigadier-General Yaron spoke with the Phalangists about the places where the terrorists were located in the camps.' I.e. Yaron must have had some map locating specific individuals, identified as 'terrorists', in specific areas of the camp, to convey to the Phalange group whom we know were not experts on this camp. That is exactly what Ménargues's source apparently said to him, i.e., that the Israelis had a register and map of the locations inside the camp of individuals. It may be a pure coincidence. I think we will never know, as is often the case. Cheers Nishidani (talk) 08:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A thought

[edit]

Hi, Pluto. I'd rather not get into politics here. However, based on your comment on the Malik case page, perhaps something you may want to think about, however, is, in your opinion, are more or fewer people engaged in hasbara, as you see it, or deligitimization (such as Ali Abunimah, Max Blumenthal, the entire BDS movement, etc.)? I'm not trying to change your mind. But please be cognizant that there may be those who view the deligitimzation movement as the same, or worse, than hasbarah, and there is reason to believe there is a significant number of active adherents to that philosophy—whether they outnumber people engaged in "hasbarah" I don't know if anyone can answer that question. I'd hope that you would consider that someone editing Wikipedia to further the deligitimizaton of Israel is a direct violation of our policies. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 21:45, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Avi,
I have never met anybody who was editing Wikipedia to deligitimate Israel. I have met some pro-P trolls or so. They vandalized some articles.
But I met numerous pro-I editors, who are convinced there is a deligimition of Israel on wikipedia and who fight (sic) against that myth and harm our work and our aims : to build a free encyclopaedia complying with some rules.
They are the problems as those who would protect them. Pluto2012 (talk) 04:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've come across both types. For example, how would you describe the initial edits of ChahatKi (talk · contribs)? In general, some people respond well to education; others need to quickly be shown the door. I would say this. If the person with the Pro-I position works with you to balance the article so it is balanced between the P and I perspectives (especially as found in English language sources) then they should be encouraged. There are certainly articles which could benefit from what I call this "cordial tension" in that if the two sides work together, the articles will adhere to NPOV (which is not no point of view, but neutral point of view). If Pro-I or Pro-P ignore our rules, then we should show them the door, and the I/P area is enough of a morass that a short leash is needed (allow for an initial mistake/misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is and its rules, but not to the level we go in other areas where someone can be blocked for 3rr a number of times before being hauled off to ANI). However, stating a priori that Pro-I editors are more prone to violate Wiki rules and should be treated differently than Pro-P editors, which is what I can infer from what you said on the case page, is against our core policies and is not helpful in building the encyclopedia. If you did not mean to treat anyone differently, and meant something else, then I will gladly stand corrected. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 04:53, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You don't have been across both types. I have not been outed, didn't receive death threath at your home and was not the target of several WP:RCU by editors.
Hi Avi,
ChahatKi is not comparable: he is naive and can be reverted at sight without problem.
You should not guess from his editing that an editor is Pro-I or Pro-P. It is normal newcomers make mistakes but when they come for the wikipedia project, they understand fast. But those who come with strong pov's, with an a priori and above all a mission to save -I or to save -P image in the I/P conflict, they should be shown the door.
For the last time, I never wrote that pro-I should be treated differently as pro-P. That would be no sense. But it is clear that the situation is mainly caused by pro-I.
Pluto2012 (talk) 05:18, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If I misunderstood, you have my apologies (and on the Arb case page as well). Although, when I was much more active in I/P (back in 2005–2007/8 or so) I found there were as many POV pushers from the P side as from the I side and had to deal with both. Perhaps things have shifted in the years I've focused more on maintenance work. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 05:24, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Avi,
No worry.
It doesn't matter much and even at all from what side it comes from. What is important is to prevent the problems to go on and to improve the situation. Pluto2012 (talk) 05:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Pluto. Firstly, the sources define anti-semitism as prejudice against Jews for religious reasons as well. That may have two other names, but it doesn't take it out of the category of antisemitism. It is a sub-category. Our own article Religious antisemitism makes that point as "the prejudice against, or hostility toward, the Jewish people based on hostility to Judaism and to Jews as a religious group." Summary style may suggest having most of the discussion in the sub-category, but that does not mean it isn't in the major category. -- Avi (talk) 05:35, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Avi,
If religious antisemitism is (of course) a source of antisemtism ; hate or hostility of Judaism is not (necessarily) antisemtism. It is Anti-Judaism and refers more to laicity.
There are huge nuances. The sources do not claim the contrary. Just some sources do the amalgame (by laziness ?) and I assume just those that make fast summaries without nuances. I doubt very much that scholarly litterature would make the mistake (even if I didn't read this on that topic).
The article antisemitism, in its own lead, should take this into account and in particular the own lead of anti-Judaism that claims the exact contrary of that lead...
Anyway, I don't mind. If I had seen that there was an edit war with newbees about this I would not have reverted you. I went too fast. I apologize for this.
There must be enough contributors checking this article to manage it.
Have a good day.

Havakukk has a master's degree in anthropology and oriental studies. He worked as a military historian for the department of Defence in Israel, and did a piece of private research on South Hebron area which was never peer reviewed, and was published by his employer, the Ministry of Defence. These are not the sort of criteria that meet WP:RS criteria for an academic peer-reviewed study. Pluto therefore has a point.

Given this fact, there's no good reason for stalking him like this. If you resume after the block expires, the block will be reinstated for longer periods of time, with an indefinite block likely.

Ni Nyttend,
You took this decision alone, without debate with other sysops and you are a contributor of Jewish ancestry (the information is important enough at your eyes so that you mention this on you user page).
And whereas on the AN/I page you talk about "longer block" here you threatens me of "indefinite block".

@Nyttend: This has already expired, and I didn't see this before, but this was a singularly ill-considered block. I saw no consensus, or even support, in the AN/I thread for a block. There is no evidence of "hounding". Settleman is a new editor who is a bit unsure about policy, and even by mistake some policies can be broken. See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Settleman thread about just such a mistake. There is no evidence that Pluto's edits were motivated by anything else than policy. Pluto even agreed with Settleman's position here, for instance. Kingsindian  13:06, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And the conclusion of all this is that Hebrew-speaking Nyttend didn't care justifying his decision whereas the account of the pro-Israeli Settleman has been indefinitely blocked as a sock: [2] Pluto2012 (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You might just check your edit count, interleaving others, at Temple Mount? I'll sleepy and must have a siesta, otherwise I'd do it myself. If there's an infraction, just revert. These things get fixed over time. festina lente. Cheers.Nishidani (talk) 12:41, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
